"Armis believes many more vulnerabilities await discovery in the various platforms using Bluetooth," the company reported. "These vulnerabilities are fully operational, and can be successfully exploited, as demonstrated in our research."

With the BlueBorne exploits, a hacker can take control of a device or make it give up information. The attack will "wake up" your phone and start working in a matter of 10 seconds.

"This attack does not require any user interaction, authentication or pairing, making it practically invisible," Armis said.

Protecting Devices

TechCrunch said that Windows and iOS phones are protected, and Google users are receiving a patch. Other devices could still be vulnerable.

For lawyers, it emphasizes the need to check for cybersecurity regularly. Professional responsibility rules require attorneys to "safeguard information relating to the representation of a client," including the "inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client."
